Jakob Bohme: About 400 years ago, before the discovery of electricity and only 150 years after the invention of the printing press, a barely literate German cobbler came up with the idea that God was a binary, fractal, self-replicating algorithm and that the universe was a genetic matrix resulting from the existential tension created by His desire for self-knowledge.

Online Readings
I offer online computer-generated readings for those who desire them. With every reading, you get a full-screen printable image of the cards in the layout and a detailed multi-page interpretation of the reading. Standard readings using a modified version of the Golden Dawn spread are available for $40.
Advanced readings use the Chaos Tarot layout, an 18-card spread accompanied by more than 2,000 words of interpretation, several illustrations and an I-Ching hex reading correctly derived from the layout. The advanced reading is $95. for more information. The advanced readings are particularly vivid and dense, in part due to the nature of the Chaos Tarot's fractal design, which creates new opportunities for cards to resonate and interact with each other.
